o ZZ o&0o oo oa= Be it known that I, JosP UNoK, a citi zen of the nited StateS, fesiding at TonlpkinSville, in the oonnty of 1iohond and State of `eW Y ork, have invented aa now and useful ID1proven1ent in IaJI]JpS,of Whioh the foHowing iS a Speoifioa,tion fy invention ro1teS partionlarly to Stn dont, librafy and Sin1ilar oil burning laJmpS Whofein the ohimney holder and Wiok raiSeI' are Supported npon the vviok tnbe a nd afe fOtated to r iSe and 10vvef the v ick. In theSe devioes aS uSuaHy oonStruoted there haJS been nothing to keop the ohiInney holder and vviok raisef down in poSition altld preveflt the saIne being aaooidentHy lifted as otted in faising and lowering the Wiok, and the objoot of II1 invention i to aoooIIlpliSh thiS objeof. In oarrying ont ny invention I eIploy aJ Spring blade Tiveted to the outof surfaoe of the Wiok tube and having an o11tvvardly pf0- jeoting knob at itS f ee end. The 10Wer odge of the ohinoney holdef iS pfovided vith a skift in vvhioh iS a rib vvhoSe undof Snffaoe foTn1S an annnlaI' groove within the Skift to reoeive the knob of the Spring blado. The spring blade yieldS readily as the ohimnoy holder is fon1oved or Tetllfned to plaoo, and aS the ohimney holdoI iS rotafed in raising and 1oW efing the vviok Said knob femains in the an nnlar groove in the skirt of the ohimney holdef and preventS the sanle being aooiden tall raised.

In the draWingS igure 1 iS an olevation and praotioal Seotion of the paftS of a laJtop illustrating ]1y inproveInent, and ig. 2 iS a oross Seetion adt aJbont the line m of Eig. 1.

The Wiok tube drip onp Z) and arn1 o to in Whioh iS a fib Whose nndor SnrfaceformS an annular groove Within tho Skirt A onfved Spfing blado f is Seonfed at one end by fivetS 2 to the sorfaoe of tho vviok tubo C& the Surfaoo of the. vviok tnbe and Spfing blado fonning tangent onrveS. The Spring blade f iS .Shown aS inolined on aooount of the hoHc1 ribs of the Wiok tube (Z but tho Sanlo oan be plaoed horizonta1 with eqnal aJdvantage o 1 vvick tubeS having no ribS. Tpon the ffee ond of thiS Spring blado iS soonred proj eoting knob tho offioo of vvhioh iS to fit in the annolaf groove of the skirt nd the spring blado f iS so located fhat this iS coompHShed in the noI1poSition of the ohhnney holder. In thi poSition the spfing blade is'under slighf tenSion and the knob f is kept in the groove iI1 the Skirt and the chin1ney h01der iS Inaintined in poSition and oannot be aooidentally lifted.

If Will be notioed frol11 Eig. 1 that the fivets2 Secufing the cnrved spfing b1do to the Wiok tube o oono be10W tho horizontal 1ino draWn throngh the kDob 7 and ft is ob 4 chirnney holder in raiSing the Same to disen gage knob f froII1 tho groovo to the Skirf, nd vvhen the ohin1ney holdel iS foplaoed the Spfing blade and knob SnaJp to plaoo as the ohinnney holder iS puShed do n to its norInal position.
